[CPUFREQ][4/8] acpi-cpufreq: Mark speedstep-centrino ACPI as deprecated
Mark ACPI hooks in speedstep-centrino as deprecated. Change the order in which speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq (when both are in kernel) will be added. First driver to be tried is now acpi-cpufreq, followed by speedstep-centrino. Add a note in feature-removal-schedule to mark this deprecation.

---------------------------
|

|
||||
What: ACPI hooks (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI) in speedstep-centrino driver
|
||||
When: December 2006
|
||||
Why: Speedstep-centrino driver with ACPI hooks and acpi-cpufreq driver are
|
||||
functionally very much similar. They talk to ACPI in same way. Only
|
||||
difference between them is the way they do frequency transitions.
|
||||
One uses MSRs and the other one uses IO ports. Functionaliy of
|
||||
speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks is now merged into acpi-cpufreq.
|
||||
That means one common driver will support all Intel Enhanced Speedstep
|
||||
capable CPUs. That means less confusion over name of
|
||||
speedstep-centrino driver (with that driver supposed to be used on
|
||||
non-centrino platforms). That means less duplication of code and
|
||||
less maintenance effort and no possibility of these two drivers
|
||||
going out of sync.
|
||||
Current users of speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks are requested to
|
||||
switch over to acpi-cpufreq driver. speedstep-centrino will continue
|
||||
to work using older non-ACPI static table based scheme even after this
|
||||
date.
